## Message

```
Try audodetecting sysroot when building Darwin on Darwin

This is now no longer limited to targeting macOS natively but also
tries to detect the sysroot when targeting different Apple platforms
from macOS; for instance targeting iPhone Simulator from macOS. In
this case, Zig will try detecting the SDK path by invoking
`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`, and if the command
fails because the SDK doesn't exist (case when having CLT installed only)
or not having either Xcode or CLT installed, we simply return null
signaling that the user has to provide the sysroot themselves.

```
